The last time I went to a doctor, they read a list of questions from a form, entered my answers into their system, and then said they'd get back to me in a couple weeks to tell me if my insurance company would allow a follow-up. That appointment should have been a web page.
Most doctor's appointments I've had recently have followed the same pattern. A good doctor is invaluable. A burnt-out noob doctor following strict procedure is like a worse GPT that your have to meet in a building full of every conceivable virus, and that costs $500 instead of $0.05. A motivated layman with GPT4 and a prescription pad would have beaten 3 out of 4 doctors I've seen since covid.
This is just my experience in the US mind you. Maybe I've had bad luck with humans, but I haven't been impressed since all of the experienced ones retired.
This is based on a misunderstanding of how prices are set. The price is set based on what the market can bear. Costs pretty much only determine if the thing is worth making, given that.
It's the same reason rent doesn't go down when property taxes do. I mention this not to tear you down, but because it's a common argument for bad policy.
I use separate buttons for that, but it has pages, so you could do something with that.
I have something similar to this, but I initially used an old android tablet running Macro Deck, an open source application that basically replies a stream deck. It has a good ecosystem of plugins for stuff like home assistant, and it was easy to add command line stuff to talk to custom electronics.
The upgrade path is good too. I ultimately switched it out for custom hardware, but it just sends keyboard shortcuts to trigger macro deck.
Thanks! Might steal that for my setup.
I'm not sure, but what are the wheels mapped to? Are they scroll or mouse x/y/something else?
If you haven't played Inscryption, just ignore everything else and do that first. It's the most innovative deckbuilding game I've played, but saying more would spoil it.
Ascension is a short-ish one I've sunk a lot of hours into. It's sort of like dominion meets Magic. The expansions make it a lot more interesting, but the full package is pretty cheap. It was designed by an MTG pro player who was sick of exactly that.
Black book is excellent, and managers to put a compelling narrative spin on a TCG.
Monster train is a good "it's like slay the spire, but not slay the spire" option for when you just can't look at another shiv.

I'm for defederation at least until instance blocking is available. I've already blocked most of their communities from my feed, but comments have been really unpleasant since they federated.
It's not really about the ideology as much as not wanting to have to scroll past endless political bickering. Rage addiction is real and contagious.
I think they made the right call too. It's better for almost everyone. A lot of flight sim types are also techies, so I bet the mods will bias that way.
I'm having a great time, but I also love FO4 and No Man's Sky. The toe-dip I've done into colony building shows that they put real thought into Astroneer-like automated manufacturing stuff, which is my crack, and something I missed in NMS and FO4. It's also clear from the first city that they know how depressing FO4 is, and wanted to add more variety.
Story and characters are a cut above any other Bethesda game so far, but that's not saying much. My wife is replaying BG3 next to me, and it makes Starfield's writing look amateurish by comparison. It's not the core of the game though, so eh.
Downsides so far have been that the minor planets/moons don't have much to do, and that inventory management is annoying with how much crafting components weigh.
Ship combat is... Fine. It's not as intricate as Elite: Dangerous or SW:Squadrons (for sim gamers, weapons are all on REALLY forgiving gimbals, which makes precision unnecessary), but not actively bad like NMS VR. I think it's a good compromise, because not everyone wants to deal with a realistic sim in what is essentially a minigame.
It's also complex, which is good, but adds some awkwardness to the beginning.
Love that cozy sci-fi. The Last Gifts of the Universe was also really good. Mostly a story about people in space.
As far as I understand, energy is conserved. Light inside a closed box will ultimately turn to heat too.
Scorn was worth a shot if you've already played Soma and RE. The mechanics are... Fine. The art is jaw-dropping. It's like Amnesia if H. R. Giger had been the art director.
Don't forget a bathroom trash can with a bag.
There's a difference between allowing speech about a thing and embracing the thing. This is a classic case of embrace, extend, extinguish.
If you're interested, I'd look into what happened with XMPP and Google talk. XMPP was a federated chat service. Google Talk became compatible with it, and instantly became the most popular client for it.
It then broke compatibility slowly, pushing more people from other XMPP clients onto Google talk.
They finally removed it completely, and because they were the most popular client, XMPP users moved to Google talk to maintain their connections to other users. The protocol basically ceased to exist.
People are broadly assuming that's Meta's plan with threads and Mastodon, because it's an extremely common way for corporations to get rid of open systems.
They're basically /r/the_Donald.
After all that work they did to screenshot Twitter?
An adult drosophila melanogaster. Amazing and incredibly useful work, but the title makes it sound like a bit more of a breakthrough.
In case anyone hasn't seen this:
Do not fall into the trap of anthropomorphising Larry Ellison.
